I guess the above link says it all.
OK, Directly across from the Crest were the Rio and the MarVal (Crown). My friends Bobby and Arnold Bel were the sons of the manager of the MarVal and I got in free. The MarVal was a Fox theatre.
Empress was previously: Republic, Vallejo, Senator and Crest
My Mother was an usher at the Senator and I got in free.
If you drew a perpendicular to Virgina St at the Crest it would cross Georgia St at a point where there was the Fox Strand
The ValMar was down closer to the water on Georia St. in what was the “red-light' district. Vallejo could not clean up this district so it took a bulldozer to the entire waterfront area for several blocks. There went the ValMar.
Another friends father owned Neils Liquors but I didn’t get any liquor. My uncle owned Lakeside Dairy. My Grandmother lived on the corned of Florida and Alameda and shared the intersection with a Jimmey Richlieu’s Shell Station, Georgias Quick Lunch, and Ellis Creamery.
There were three theaters on Georgia St. One was the Val-Mar. Another the Rita
On Virgina St were the Rio, MarVal, Hanlon, something that became the Crest.
There was the Studio on Sonoma St with folding chairs for seats.
There was the Victory theater on 5th St in South Vallejo.
The El Rey was on Tennessee St.
